Packers and Eagles each did it once, KC & Buffalo are the only 2 to do it twice. Yet there are fans on here saying that those seasons aren't great. We also have the 2nd best record over the last 3 years, only trailing KC. Yeah, top 7% isn't great lol. Your point about KC being the key. To me, a great regular season means getting the 1 seed. We have yet to do that. The 1 seed is the AFC is massive. Not just a big deal … massive. The one recent year KC didn’t get the 1, they were the 2, with the weakest 1 seed ever in Tennessee inevitably bowing out to give KC the de facto 1 in regards to home field.

Welcome to top tier team status. The standards are high. Only twice since the start of the 2009 season has the "odds on favorite" entering week 1 gone on to win the Super Bowl. Doesn't happen often, only 14% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off I get that's your opinion, you've voiced it several times now. Secondly you are mixing up the meaning of the words "great" and "the best". You don't need to be the best at something to still be considered great. That's not my opinion, it's a fact. Top 7% in anything is not considered merely good, it's considered great.

I would actually argue you would say that would an "okay" season and without consecutive Superbowl wins the season was not great. Keep moving the goal posts each time they are reached.

Aussie Joe Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 20 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: Like I said, entitled Most fans in the league would take a 13 and three season and said they had a great season That is part of the problem the expectations for the season 13-3 is a great year… although personally I thought that they struggled at times over the second half of the season and perhaps that record flattered them a little, as we saw with their form in the playoffs.. Eventually though, with Josh Allen on this team, they will need to break through and win a Championship or it’s going to seem like disappointment.. even if they go 13-3 every year until he retires … I still think they should be able to do it at some stage, so yes….my expectations are high going into each year with prime Josh Allen … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you know what the phrase “moving the goal posts” means. We’re all giving our opinions… therefore, the “TO ME” part should be implied. If we finish 13-4 this year, with the 3 seed, is that another great season? Edited April 7, 2023 by SCBills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBF81 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 2 hours ago, Success said: We were a great team, who circumstances caught up w/ and derailed. We were just blowing teams away in the 1st couple of months, and clicking on all cylinders. But man, so much happened over the course of the season. Every team has adversity, but it hit a limit. Correction, we blew out the Rams and then the Titans, both teams having been absurdly overrated and among the worst on our schedule. After that we went on vacation as if beating them was a singular formality to going 17-0 and sliding into a Championship per the preseason pub. After that we lost to Miami, barely beat Baltimore going 4-3 in our next 7. The only two teams that we blew out were Pittsburgh in week 5 and then the Bears on Christmas Eve. We got blown out by Cinci. We only beat three playoff teams during the regular season, two of which were WC teams. We beat those teams by 3 points twice and by 4 points once. We also lost to Miami once. We had a relatively soft schedule in hindsight. It's quite possible were overrated ourselves after the first two games against teams that were supposed to be in contention but which finished a combined 12-22 and both of which finishing near last in offense. Just sayin'. I know that I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBF81 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 1 hour ago, John from Riverside said: That is part of the problem the expectations for the season When you have a Josh Allen then the expectations are a championship. We don't make it out and say OK, we'll "expect a championship" in 2025, 2028, and 2030, but no other years. That's how you make it sound. You expect it every year and if not achieved ask why not and figure out how to correct what's wrong. Again, there are two sets of fans, some that are happy with entertaining play all season regardless of the results, and the others, including those of us that went through the SB years, that will only be satisfied with a championship. For those simply happy with doing shots from a bowling ball and jumping onto tables and tailgating while being pleased with a winning season and little else, good for them, I envy them. But for them to impose that standard upon the rest of us, well that's just wrong. I think that almost all fans agree that if we don't win one with Allen it'll be tragic and ridiculous. 1 hour ago, LOVEMESOMEBILLS said: Only 6 times over the last 3 seasons has a team finished 13-3 or better.

Beck Water Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 1 hour ago, OldTimer1960 said: I was talking about the whole season, not just the Bengals’ game. This team overcame a TON of adversity last season - then they went through Hamlin’s heart stopping on the field. If people don’t think that affected the team, then I strongly disagree. I think it affected the team, for sure. I think it affected the coaches. My point was that we were missing a ton of people on D for that last game. Jaquan Johnson and Cam Lewis at Safety doesn't seem very safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
